Refs announced for Game 3 in LA
The quote below is from a reader/poster on boston.com pertaining to the announcement of who the 3 refs are for tonights's game 3 (Joey Crawford ,Bennett Salvatore, and Mark Wunderlich)
With the history of these three characters how do they get this game? Two of the worst calls in playoff memory are owned by Salvatore and Wunderlich.
Is this a setup by Stearn so that when this game is handed to LA to extend the series, and of course inflate the $$$ income he can again apologize for the terrible calls? With of course a wink!. Early in the 2nd game Kobe, not my favorite rapist, was being mauled by the C's and got nary a call. Leon was at the line all night. We know that will be reversed in LA, Pierce will get mauled and not a call his way. Kobe will feel a gentle breeze and shoot two. Why play 7. One game on a neutral court like the Super Bowl. It looks like some of these officials actually believe that thousand of fans spend big bux on tickets and travel and hotels and food to come only to watch them perform.
Perhaps we need a Senate investigation[call Spector quick] as to why it is rare for a visiting team to
win on the road in the playoffs? Same players, same ball, same game, same
rules [ooops maybe not]. Bag job? Yup..bag job
Gotta love passionate fans.
But it does beg the question, how and why are these refs getting an odd game gig in the finals (odd games are the most important swing games in 7 game series)
As always, Bill Simmons will get a few laughs tomorrow when his game 3 recap comes out, here is his article following game 2, very good read : Click here
